Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church

You ">What Do We Believe?

Shepherd of the Valley is a congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Our Church believes that:
The Triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - is the one, true, living and almighty God.
The Bible, the inspired Word of God, is the only reliable source of truth for Christian faith and life.
All people, by nature, are sinful and deserve God's anger and punishment for their sins.
Jesus Christ, true God and true man, through His innocent suffering and death, has redeemed the world from sin and hell and cleanses us from all sin.
By His glorious resurrection, Jesus defeated death and gives to all believers the gift of eternal life and at death, the believer enters glory in Heaven.
These blessings are received by God's grace (His undeserved love) through faith in Jesus, worked by the Holy Spirit through the hearing of God's Word and Holy Baptism.
We are strengthened in our faith in Jesus Christ through the regular use of God's word and the Lord's Supper.
